The SOFIA Observatory at the Start of Routine Science Operations : Mission capabilities and performance
Pasquale Temi, Pamela M. Marcum, Erick Young +65
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has recently concluded a set of engineering flights for Observatory performance evaluation. These in-flight opportuniti…
Planning and Executing Airborne Astronomy Missions for SOFIA
Michael A. K. Gross, Ralph Y. Shuping
SOFIA is a 2.5 meter airborne infrared telescope, mounted in a Boeing 747SP aircraft. Due to the large size of the telescope, only a few degrees of azimuth are available at the tel…
Pointing the SOFIA Telescope
Michael A. K. Gross, John J. Rasmussen, Elizabeth M. Moore
SOFIA is an airborne, gyroscopically stabilized 2.5m infrared telescope, mounted to a spherical bearing. Unlike its predecessors, SOFIA will work in absolute coordinates, despite i…
Hot Dark Matter in Cosmology
Joel R. Primack, Michael A. K. Gross
Cosmological dark matter in the form of neutrinos with masses of up to a few electron volts is known as hot dark matter. After an historical review of the subject, this article con…
Cosmological Implications of Lyman-Break Galaxy Clustering
Risa H. Wechsler, Michael A. K. Gross, Joel R. Primack +3
We review our analysis of the clustering properties of ``Lyman-break'' galaxies (LBGs) at redshift z~3, previously discussed in Wechsler et al (1998). We examine the likelihood of…
Cold + Hot Dark Matter After Super-Kamiokande
Joel R. Primack, Michael A. K. Gross
The recent atmospheric neutrino data from Super-Kamiokande provide strong evidence of neutrino oscillations and therefore of non-zero neutrino mass. These data imply a lower limit…
